Time to get it sorted

Squidge123

So I've decided that on Friday I'm going to start again. To be honest it's going to be a very tough week until the following Friday but it's something I need to do to get myself back on track. I get paid on the 21st which is only 2 weeks and 2 days away. My expenses from work will get lower because I won't have any passengers so I have to rework my budget for next month etc.

Well no one ever said it was easy did they?

Me too, can't wait either!

Don't let it get you down if you 'fall off the wagon' Squidge. Just pick yourself back up again and continue on!

I'm trying not to be disappointed. But I've decided the next payday will be a fresh start. I'll still debt save in between then but this time I will get it right.

Does anyone know if I will get charge if I phone and ask for the dates of my DD's to be changed so that they're all on the same day? I think that will make it easier for me to keep track of my money

Depends on the company and whether they actually allow you to move dates.

Worth ringing each and asking individually. For example, in my area, council tax is paid on the 1st of the month and there's no option to change it.

I'll have to look into it. Would be easier if I could get all my DDs coming out on one day

My family member helped me out this month so my debt has gone up and so has the amount on my Card but I can't remember how much so I'll have to look into it. I've put in a lot of hours this month so will hopefully get lots paid off!

The loan will be paid off, as will friend I owe £50 to and friend I owe £20. The Overdraft and Card will be reduced too and I'm going to start paying off my family member. So hopefully about £500 of my debt will be cleared from 21st of this month

Hi squidge
i have been a bit quiet on the support front but i am still lurking and keeping up with your progress!

So I now have £6.00 in my OnePoll account. Only another £32 to go and then I can claim the money!

I just need to work out where to find £20 to put some petrol in my car. Hopefully can borrow it from someone. Only 1 week and 1 day till pay day and I can get back on track. I have £4.27 in copper coins in an old coffee jar too!

I'm counting the days down too (also get paid on the 21st )

Think I'm unto £4.85 in my onepoll account - that £40 is looking a long long way away...

I'd recommend Vivatic and MySurvey if you're not doing surveys for them as well.

Good luck finding the £20 for the petrol - I hate that feeling when you're so close to payday and just need that little something extra to get you there.

My dad lent me the petrol money. I just need to plan my budget better for payday. This month went out the window because I didn't know how much petrol it would take me each week. Now I know I can be better prepared :-)
I will look into the sites ... I didn't get chance to look into them before
